Mystic Realms

Mystic Realms is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Brighto Interactive. Set in the fantasy world of Opria, players take on the role of intrepid adventurers who work to face down numerous threats to the continent while exploring the land, exploring its lore and locations, and delving into its storied background.

History
The beginnings of the Empire were established in the waning years of the elven realm of Delthoridan. As the successor state to that nation, the Empire united the races of the western lands under a single banner for the first time in history. The founder of the Empire was the battlemage Sarnovia Neador, who rose to prominence first as a leader in the human rebellion and as an instigator of the war that would bring the ancient elven state to collapse. After helping to lead the rebellion to success, she survived an assassination strike which claimed the lives of the other human rebel commanders, she solidified her position as the foremost voice of the human resistance and ultimately became the first empress of the new realm, recognised by acclimation by the other surviving rebel leaders.

During her 44-year reign, Sarnovia instituted numerous reforms, including the abolition of all forms of slavery and indentured servitude, the establishment of uniform codes of justice and taxation, improved education, greatly expanded the roads and infrastructure of the realm, and chartered several important organisations which endure to this day, including the Imperial Bank. After her death at the age of 87, she was succeeded by her eldest son, Leoric. The current monarch is the Emperor Hilan III, twenty-ninth of the line, who is in the 49th year of his reign and 77 years old. His heir is his eldest grandson Rolan, the Prince Imperial.

Politics
At the pinnacle of the Empire is the Emperor himself, who holds ultimate power over all affairs of state and the military. The Inner Council is responsible for day-to-day administration, overseeing the provinces, and advising the Emperor. All decisions taken by the council are subject to Imperial approval. Members of the Inner Council include the Secretary Imperial (top bureaucrat and principal Imperial adviser), the Lord Keeper of the Treasury (oversees the Treasury, taxes and budgets), the Lord Justiciar (overseeing the courts, prisons, and asylums), the Marshal of the Armies (commanding the Imperial Army), and the Lord High Admiral (commanding the Imperial Navy).
